    May River Capital and Jeff Oravitz have partnered to seek and acquire a specialty coatings and materials company with a proven presence in one or more segments of the chemicals value chain, the Chicago-based private equity firm announced. 
     
    Steve Griesemer and Chip Grace, partners at May River, are coordinating the search with Oravitz for the new platform strategy.
     
    Oravitz has nearly 30 years of specialty chemicals experience in a variety of leadership roles. Most recently, he dually served as president, MetoKote Corporation (a coating application services provider) and VP of Coatings Services at PPG Industries, where he sponsored the acquisition of The Crown Group from High Road Capital Partners in 2017. 
     
    Prior to PPG, Oravitz served as the president & CEO of MetoKote Corporation. At MetoKote, Oravitz led the process to sell the company to PPG Industries and was also a member of MetoKote’s Board of Directors. 
     
    MetoKote grew to nearly $200 million in global revenue and more than 1,500 employees across 29 global facilities under Oravitz’s leadership.
     
    “When there is a compelling opportunity to partner with an industry executive who is extensively credentialed in one of our target growth sectors, we will conduct a focused search alongside the executive,” said Griesemer. “Jeff will also be joining May River’s Executive Resource Group, a collection of experienced operators who hail from world-class organizations and institutions. He will work with our core team to evaluate new opportunities, assist in platform optimization, and, in the case of this executive-led strategy, take a leadership role in a new platform company.”
     
    “I am very pleased to partner with May River Capital in the development of a new platform,” said Oravitz. “The specialty coatings and materials space presents many opportunities for investment and development, and is well-aligned with my background and the resources of May River Capital.”
    • Oravitz and May River are seeking a specialty coatings and materials platform company with the following characteristics:
    • Products should include coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, surface treatments, or plastics and specialty materials. The company should operate within distinct segment(s) of the chemicals value chain, such as manufacturing or value-added distribution;
    • Applications should call for complex chemistries with narrowly focused industrial applications, however, non- industrial end markets will also be considered;
    • The operating strategy should emphasize small-batch, asset-light, dynamic operations, with a lean workforce tailoring custom solutions;
    • Headquartered in North America;
    • Minimum of $10 million in revenue and $3 million of EBITDA; opportunities with less than $3 million in EBITDA will be actively evaluated as potential add-on investments
